Cobourg's Coat of Arms

Relocating to Cobourg

The Town has published two documents targeted at businesses but the information would also be of interest to anyone relocating to Cobourg. The documents are a Community Profile and a Relocation Guide. They include useful information about Cobourg and some of what you need to know if you relocate yourself or your business to Cobourg. The Cobourg Internet Site is not mentioned even though it provides a lot of information (go here to start). There is also no information provided on Municipal Information – go here instead

Below are some numbers from the Community Profile Document that are additional to info on Cobourg Internet. Health Care Practitioner’s Offices

Since the profile is intended for businesses, existing employers and employment statistics are provided. This no doubt indicates the pool of workers and types of businesses already here.

Total employment in Manufacturing: 1830

Total employment in Service and Retail in 2016: 8823 in 898 businesses.

The Economic Development Department lists a number of Incentive programs – mostly operated by the Federal and Provincial Governments but there are also some local incentives such as the Community Improvement Program for Downtown building upgrades.

There is also information from Cobourg Networks Inc. – the Town owned fibre-optic supplier that provides services to businesses. How to access this service is also vague – contact LUSI to sort it out. There is no web site or online information about this service. There is no way of assessing if this service is really useful. For information on conventional suppliers of Internet service go here.

Missing is any mention of entertainment such as the Rainbow Cinema, the Loft, shows at Victoria Hall or sold by their Box Office or the Art Gallery. Cobourg has a thriving Arts and Culture community yet it is only mentioned briefly. There is more (a lot more) on this site here.
